Bill Gates Opposes Covid Vaccine Mandates and Passports at Davos
Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates voiced opposition to vaccine mandates and passes during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting at Davos earlier this month.
During a panel titled “Preparing for the Next Pandemic”, the Microsoft co-founder said that when it comes to vaccine mandates and passes, “If you have breakthrough infections, what’s the point?”
Gates explains that what’s really needed are “infection blocking and long duration” vaccines that can block community transmission for a long period of time. Without those, he sees no point in mandates and passports.
It’s been evident for some time that Gates has been increasingly disappointed with the performance of Covid vaccines for stopping transmission, and unlike many political leaders around the world has not continued to press for these particular failed policies. He doesn’t appear to appreciate that the kind of sterilising immunity he has in mind is very unlikely to be possible through vaccination for common respiratory pathogens with pandemic potential like influenza and coronaviruses.
Hopefully, Gates’s opposition will increase pressure on the U.S. and other states, which continue to discriminate against the unvaccinated including, in the U.S.’s case, by refusing permission to enter the country.
Separately, a paper opposing vaccine mandates and passports authored by a group of scientists and academics from Oxford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and other leading universities has now been formally published. The authors include two funded by the Wellcome Trust, a major funder of medical research with close ties to the pharmaceutical industry led by Sir Jeremy Farrar. The Daily Sceptic covered this surprising paper back in February when it was first put out in pre-print form, and it is good to see the final version appearing now in BMJ Global Heath.
The authors are clear that current mandatory vaccine policies are “scientifically questionable and are likely to cause more societal harm than good”. They continue:
Restricting people’s access to work, education, public transport and social life based on COVID-19 vaccination status impinges on human rights, promotes stigma and social polarisation, and adversely affects health and well-being. Current policies may lead to a widening of health and economic inequalities, detrimental long-term impacts on trust in government and scientific institutions, and reduce the uptake of future public health measures, including COVID-19 vaccines as well as routine immunisations. Mandating vaccination is one of the most powerful interventions in public health and should be used sparingly and carefully to uphold ethical norms and trust in institutions.
Hear, hear.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Very crafty! He’s going for reverse psychology!
Or perhaps he’s worried about a knock-on effect on the public’s willingness to be injected with other snake oils.
“…detrimental long-term impacts on trust in government and scientific institutions, and reduce the uptake of future public health measures, including COVID-19 vaccines as well as routine immunisations.”
After all, business is business.
His words are pretty clear and precise. He’s against mandates and vax passes if the jabs don’t work. But if they do…
In the meantime he’s for lockdowns and a state.of near perpetual global pandemic hysteria instigated by his GERM team of virus hunters.
The jabs never worked, for anything.
VAIDS?
But if they did work, all who took them would be completely safe. So the only reasons for mandates would be to force unwilling people to become safe, maybe to save the health services money.
Not a very compelling ethical case.
Indeed.
If the jabs work, what’s the point of the vaxpass?
If the jabs don’t work, what’s the point of the vaxpass?
Ah yes, Billy Boy “moobs” Gates, who wants to be recognised as a state.
And who voted for him again?
The jabs seems to be working very nicely so far – wait for Gate’s ‘n Fauci’s new VAIDS drug ( just like the old one) to suddenly appear.
What’s all this stuff giving him credence? ”He’s for lockdowns….” etc. Who the hell cares WHAT he’s ”for”? It’s nothing to do with him, or his cohort, or his handlers – whatever.
I agree. I am extremely suspicious of Gates. Part of the whole Great Reset agenda will be control via some sort of ID passport, so this won’t be going to go away and I simply don’t believe in this seeming volte face. But clever, as you say.
“Mandating vaccination is one of the most powerful interventions in public health and should be used sparingly and carefully to uphold ethical norms and trust in institutions.”
Not used sparingly, not used at all, if you want to “uphold ethical norms”.
Next step for Mr Gates: check out the extensive medical literature on “free and informed consent”. This was believed to be an “ethical norm”.
As for “trust in government and scientific institutions” – too late. I never did trust governments; but I did have respect for scientific institutions as a category. I thought they stood for something honourable and important.
Which scientific institutions does Mr Gates want me to trust? The ones he more or less owns?
He owns them all, so that’s easy.
Not sure if this article is going to popular with readers of daily sceptic. It goes against the alternative narrative / conspiracy. Unless…. He’s just setting up a false sense of security and then will pull the rug out from under our feet at a later date?
I’d rather there wasn’t a conspiracy so it is good news if Gates means what he says. If.
But he means what he says. He’s saying mandates are pointless if jabs don’t work. Which suggests he believes they are helpful if they DO work.
He’s not an idiot. He realises how completely insane the current mandates are because the jabs don’t work.
He’s not a stupid reality denying politician or bureaucrat. He’s a dangerous sociopath with aspirations to a level of power never before held by an individual.
“TN,BN”; trust nobody, believe nothing. Least of all this scheming pustule.
Just mind games from someone who may be as rich as Croesus but is as thick as a brick, and more evil than Satan.
Absolutely!
Well, not sure it’s exactly against the narrative.
He says this: “Gates explains that what’s really needed are “infection blocking and long duration” vaccines that can block community transmission for a long period of time. Without those, he sees no point in mandates and passports.”
So if you had such vaccines he would see a point in mandates and passports.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s “as you were”.
What IS mildly positive is that Gates is admitting the current crop of “vaccines” were massively oversold.
So? I think that’s more like him advising someone else to close his stable door in future after he stole the horse.
It’s a tiny chip at the facade, that’s all. I don’t trust him an inch, but I am vaguely heartened that there seem to be some limits to how big the lies are that they think they can get away with.
I wonder what Billy’s idea of “long time” is? Over the six week period currently, allegedly offered by the clot shots. Would ten weeks count as a “long time?”
A week is a long time in politics.
That reminds me, why did the health security agency (or whoever it was) recommend having these injections every three months the other day if they only last 6 weeks? And what about that recent vaccine that actually works more like a traditional vaccine? Is there any encouragement there, or will it not change much?
Gates isn’t dumb. He may be a thief and a megalomaniac who believes in depopulation, but he isn’t dumb.
He knows that these shots don’t work and he’s doing his best to keep his media arms to keep the lid on how dangerous they are so he’s backtracking.
However, he’s also stated clearly that another virus is coming, like smallpox, and people will be really afraid if it. He’s counting on fear of the next one to really get people on board.
Anxious about personal liability?
That’s my feeling. No matter how rich he is, he knows he can’t hide if people (1) get angry about what has been done…which is starting to happen and (2) blame him (highly likely)
India is keen to discuss the young girls who were maimed, and died after taking his vaccines.
I believe India still maintains the death sentence.
Extradition then, from wherever he hangs out in secret ?
Can we ‘crowd fund’ it internationally ?
Good idea. He can be “renditioned” from wherever he is hiding out to a country that is likely to give him tough justice.
He knows he is a hate figure. Melinda saw this and jumped ship.
Yes. Like Harvey Weinstein’s wife.
Too late though, Melinda. We see you. Your name is still all over his criminal foundation.
I know – I think that every time I see it appearing somewhere in print. However hard she might try she cannot erase her past involvement in it.
I think she saw the flightlogs from Epstein Island.
Well, that too.
The more he opens his mouth, the more the hate grows!
He has more of an interest in human genetic engineering and using vectors like aerosols and mosquitos to infect people I think. I wouldn’t be surprised if he quietly advocates for genetic engineering of viruses to act as a ‘kind of vaccine’, as per Omicron, which most likely was.
He’s looking for more investment in the nascent technology that started under this pandemic.
Which technology are you referring to?
He’s just saying “Hey, governments of the world. You handed over $x squillion to Big Pharma and the moneylenders because of this “Covid19” gig I helped promote for them. Now we want you all to sign up to a quest for a “long-term vaccine”, at a price of $25x sq/yr. A lot of “science” could be made subservient to such a “project”. (Cf. the “Strategic Defence Initiative”.) Most of this is chaff, though. Things are likely to move a lot faster than that. His masters may not even have told him, although he’s a clever
robber baron born to rich parentsguy and he probably suspects.The gene transfer technology promised much but only delivered pain.
The moment has now arrived to draw a line under your involvement with this questionable science, Bill.
Why give him the chance – let it take him down and his best chum Fauci with him!
The MSM are promoting these people, along with Blair who they are pushing ‘back into politics’, as if he ever left.
He’s so deluded he thinks his new anti-brexit political
partyproject, “Britain Project”, stands any chance at all…That reminds me, whatever happened to (no) Change UK?
Mandating medical procedures which don’t work has no benefits! Shocker!
…..
But is a nice little earner for billionaires!
I’ve been getting jabs so I can still work in mainland Europe. Last trips to France and Spain jabs are required but they don’t check any more.
France is fine now. Spain is still funny with masks on public transport.
Gates explains that what’s really needed are “infection blocking and long duration” vaccines that can block community transmission for a long period of time. Without those, he sees no point in mandates and passports.
Not a very reassuring statement, as when Bill says that his untested infection blocking and long duration vaxxines are ready, then it’s hey lads hey, bring out those mandates and passports. This excuse for a man will remain an avid depopulator to his dying day.
Hopefully that day is not too far away now
Gates knows nothing about vaccines – only what they can do to people to further his real “population” goal and line his pockets with gold !
Comment regarding the surprising paper: This may all sound nice and dandy but there’s nothing in it which wasn’t already well known before vaccine coercion became the non-pharmaceutical intervention of the day. The people who were pushing for this are now pedalling back, presumably mainly to get their heads of out the noose in time. Come the next panicdemic – and come it will – they’ll all forget it again.
Is it just me whose recently adopted the habit of wondering what he’s up to next?
Die peacefully in his sleep would be my preferred choice.
Well, RW, you are obviously an extremely kind sort of gent (or lady of course). My preference would be confiscation of all assets and the rest of his life in jail, possibly in some advanced nation such as Saudi Arabia or Brazil.
Hmm … I self-identify as male 🙂 .
EEK!
That’s a picture only a mother could love.
That’s very kind. I was hoping for that case study that Swedenborg found, where someone’s vaccine side effects led to some kind of necrotising fasciitis of the penis.
Then death, obviously.
Painfully in his sleep would be my preferred option.
Rammed up the arse with an electric cattle prod until he can take no more, and then leave it there another hour would be “up there” in my list of fates for this cretinous human.
Yeah, as Jonesy would say, ‘They don’t like it up’em!’
No.
Hmm, did I actually see you use the words Bill Gates and philanthropist in the same sentence?!
His eye is on the prise of the WHO pandemic treaty. He knows that once that’s locked in he can control all pandemic policy and mandates as it so pleaseth him.
Just a pause to gin up his rep.
Covid failed as the vehicle to justify the roll out of bio digital ID. The ensuing economic ruination caused by the inflation from overzealous QE used to placate the idle to stay indoors for two years will lead to food and fuel shortages. This presents Gates’s ID2020 project the perfect platform to rebrand itself as our de facto bio digital ration book, UBI / CBDC wallet..
Spot on.
I don’t believe the QE was over zealous, it was part of the plan. That plan is to deliberately stoke inflation and thereby impoverish millions. Once the population is skint we are at their mercy be it food, medicine, injections, travel, digital passports, CBDC, UBI and so on.
Rule number one in this war – invert completely any shyte spouted by the other side.
Billy Tits is actually saying digital passports are still on the agenda.
QE was definitely part of the plan The repro rate rose to 10% overnight in sept. 2019, just before coronavirus.
How do digital ration books work during blackouts when the servers can’t be reached?
Tells you a lot about the calibre of our rulers.
So the plebs don’t get their rations, why would Billy care?
You should have saved some of your insect ration for a rainy day.
Gates and his ilk did not get enough people vaxxed up to fulfill their plans.
So they are backpedalling.
According to the Canadian report, which I consider a true leak, the entire process of bringing in the digital ID was to happen rapidly to a terrified populace.
All unvaxxed were to be stigmatised and excluded from society.
The coronavirus bioweapon was not as effective as they hoped, it did not remain deadly enough but rapidly mutated back to a more natural form.
Not enough pandemic deaths. They were unsuccessful at starving and excluding the unvaxxed.
So they turned to killing in Ukraine and starting a war with Russia.
They could not pull it off. And this is arse covering until they try again.
As Monty below says, with food shortages. Busy little lot they are!
The WHO pandemic treaty has failed to pass. The vax mandates and passes were meant to tie in with this “health security” system. Gates would have known prior to the vote that it would not pass – hence the backpedalling.
They will try to control us another way.
They will be back.
In certain communities looking at the Jab Stats their plans seem to be working very well – we still have VAIDS to look forward to.
I think Gates must have just found out he is not long for this world and has decided to boost his chances in the afterlife.
Somehow the God I believe in will not be fooled. I’d be very disappointed to go and meet my Maker and find Gates sitting there. You’d feel you’d been mis-sold.
He might be a prize A c.u.n.t but I am sure his press team can read the room. This means nothing. Follow the actions not the words.
…..
I have long maintained that Klaus Schwab is a political lightweight and a con-man who has captured the imagination of some not very bright people. Indeed, the WEF is a distraction to what’s really going on.
Ben Pile, the well know climate sceptic has put together a professionally shot, short video explaining precisely what’s going on at the moment, and it has nothing to do with the WEF fantasist’s.
Spread it far and wide Merry Men.

https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/
These artticles say much the same thing, but put energy economics at the forefront.
The critical element in this equation is the Energy Cost of Energy, which determines how much surplus (ex-cost) energy is available to the system. The ECoEs of oil, natural gas and coal have been rising relentlessly, undermining the fossil fuel foundations of the modern economy.
Protracted efforts to overcome energy deterioration with financial innovation have failed, simultaneously driving a wedge of instability between the ‘real’ or material economy of resources, goods and services and the ‘financial’ or proxy economy of money and credit.
This website explains why there will be no return to a normal predicated on unlimited supplies of cheap energy.
The consumer society is over.
https://consciousnessofsheep.co.uk/2022/04/20/this-time-really-is-different/
This is why this time is different. In the absence of an alternative, cheap, high-density energy replacement for finite fossil fuels, there is no financial means of preventing a permanent depression – quarter after quarter, year after year of negative growth until the economy comes back into balance with the energy and resources available to us.
“Climate change” and blaming Greens is just a facade covering the fact that we cannot sustain our economy without cheap energy, and that is running out with no adequate replacements in sight.
This is how all empires collapse in the end. Back to the dark ages?
This conclusion is just nonsense. There are hundreds of years of known fossil fuel reserves within the UK. They are cheap, easy to access and gives ample time to develop nuclear power.
Watch the video from Ben Pile I just posted. The climate change scam is being used to make wealthy, powerful people, more wealthy and powerful.
Three hundred years of coal reserves. At least. Plus shale gas.
It is the energy cost of energy that is unaffordable.
This time around though, there is no untapped reserve of relatively cheap oil to underwrite a new burst of industrial growth. Indeed, it was the end of cheap (to extract) oil in 2005 which laid the basis for the 2008 crash and the ensuing depression which a large part of the population has lived with ever since. US shale production famously lowered the price of oil afterward, but investors got burned by a process which used billions of dollars to extract millions of dollars’ worth of oil. So that even before the Great Plague of 2020-22, US shale extraction was falling.
In the UK, interest in fracking for gas and in opening up relatively tiny oil fields in the northeast Atlantic overlooks the key issue of the energy cost of energy. The reason these projects failed in the past is because it was obvious to investors that the cost of extracting the oil and gas from them is greater than the market could bear. The same is true of new nuclear and even of non-renewable renewable energy-harvesting technologies (NRREHTs) once the costs of balancing intermittency are factored in.
https://consciousnessofsheep.co.uk/2022/04/20/this-time-really-is-different/
There is no shortage of anything given sufficient time for human ingenuity to adapt. I’m not buying any “this time it’s different” or Malthusian “the end is nigh” prophecies, when they’ve always, without fail, been wrong.
You have completely missed the point. It is not a question of how much remains.
If a couple of boys start picking cherries from a tree, then the low-hanging fruit is picked first with little expenditure of time or energy. Eventually, athough there may be many cherries remaining in the highest branches, each cherry will require correspondingly more effort to pick. This equates to falling living standards.
How difficult can it be to invent a cherry picker…
Not true – in history the end has come for many civilizations which were not able to sustain themselves or their complexity on diminishing resource bases.
Where did you get all this nonsense from. Shale gas is extraordinarily cheap to extract. No massive offshore infrastructure to invest in with associated maintenance cost’s. It uses largely the same horizontal drilling technology as offshore oil extraction but from a piece of land roughly the size of two football fields. The fracturing technique employs a mixture of water, sand and a tiny amount of lubricant for the drill bit. The water is injected at high pressure, causes the shale to fracture and the sand maintains the integrity of the tiny cracks to let the gas escape. The UK has one of the largest fracking fields in the world. Just 10% of it is estimated to be able to provide all our natural gas needs for 50 years. Offshore oil extraction is still viable, it’s the refusal of licences to explore and drill that are stopping investment in the north sea, but that’s under pressure now as well and is buckling with the government rushing through previously refused licences. As I explained elsewhere, it’s not the energy cost of energy that’s the problem, it’s the pressure on investors by activists to divest from fossil fuels and the costs imposed by… Read more »
Sure, offshore oil extraction is still viable as is shale.
The point is that these expensive sources of energy – in terms of energy – are replacing relatively cheap sources, as time goes on.
For example, the production cost of a barrel of oil in the Arabian desert is about $3. By comparison shale costs about 60 (15 x as much) and oil from off the coast of Brazil about 80$ (2 x as much).
These expensive – in terms of energy – sources are only being exploited because their is no more of the cheaply produced stuff left to develop.
The pressure from government to divest from fossil fuels (levies/taxes/credits) is driven by the knowledge that our remaining fossil fuels are essential means in the transition to economically advantageous renewable technologies.
Which is to say that countries choosing to invest now will be much better off long term compared to the countries burning up their remaining stores of fossil energy.
Sorry but you’re incorrect. I recommend reading Kunstler’s books ‘The Long Emergency’ 2005 and ‘Living in the — —‘ 2020, which went to press just before COVID. He details oil and gas exploration in many countries in considerable detail. We aren’t discovering giant fields any more
His timing of the 2nd book was fortunate as it sets out the parlous state of the world economy by mid-2019, post-peak oil. Something was needed to distract people …
Energy sources with an EROEI of 6 are not cheap to extract. Texas oil of the 1920s had an EROEI of about 100; that’s 100 units of energy out for one put in.
Thank you Red.
If the above is legit why don’t we transfer the 11 billion subsidy currently fed to “renewables” to fossil fuel extraction?
Because it is not economic in the long term to continue to extract these increasingly expensive sources. We need to change to new technologies. Unfortunately, given the current state of knowledge, no new source can supply the energy wealth coal and gas provided in the early years. In the first stages of the Industrial revolution, steam power was used to pump water out of coal mines, allowing for their full exploitation. This, and later innovations gave Great Britain a massive advantage over other countries in terms of the power available to us. The population tripled in the 19th c because everything relies on cheap energy, even food supply. Without these cheap energy sources, even food will become more expensive. The entire global economy has assumed everlasting supplies of cheap energy and this has underpinned our unprecedented affluence in the 20th c. Yes you can continue to mine the remaining coal. But you cannot support this type of economy on it. Previous cultures used wood, slaves and water power. We cannot support a consumer economy on these. Short of a technological miracle, we need to reconfigure our way of life to adapt to this reality. Living standards will drop in the… Read more »
Looks like you have bought the whole renewable energy package – rather sad.
How much of it is easily accessible?
It is irrelevant how much coal or oil remains.
What is important is the constantly rising marginal cost of accessing those, meaning that most of it will be left in the ground.
The economy is poised for severe contraction because of the depletion of the low-cost fossil fuel energy which has powered the industrial age, and the absence of any plausible replacement for this low-ECoE energy.
we cannot somehow “de-couple” economic prosperity from the supply, value and cost of energy.
You mean it’s not just Tim Yeo?!
It is not “running out”- it has been closed down.
The ECoEs of oil, natural gas and coal have been rising relentlessly, undermining the fossil fuel foundations of the modern economy. These have been rising because, as Ben explains, wealthy activists have funded activist groups which have frightened financial institutions to divest from fossil fuels. Investment has fallen, supply is reduced and, like anything else, when there is undersupply, cost’s shoot up. Unless civil unrest is to begin breaking out across the world, governments need to, and will address this. Once civil unrest starts in one region and the other regions are suffering under the same yoke of oppression, it will spread like wildfire across the globe. That’s every governments worst nightmare. The ones pulling the strings of all this know renewable energy will never work, but they don’t care. They are foolish enough to imagine their empire will survive regional, national and even international unrest. Our governments are not blind to this. Interestingly, Putin has put a stick in the spokes of these people, deliberately or otherwise. He’s forced the issue before NetZero plans are in their infancy. For example, there is huge pressure for Boris to drop the green taxes on energy. When that happens, it will be… Read more »
Excellent analyses, Red. Britain is made of coal. Plus the oil.
I’m intrigued by notions that oil may not be fossil fuels either. I know some now use the term hydrocarbons as some spent oil fields have seemingly replenished. Who knows? There is much about the planet we don’t understand.
Even if oil is replenished it doesn’t matter.
What matters is whether any oil that is replenished is available such that it the energy return on energy invested (EROEI) maintains global EROEI, such that living standards are maintained.
Nailed it 👌.
Excellent video.
Thanks for the link.
The video ignores that the Western oil majors, who are susceptible to such pressures, have increasingly become almost bit players in the industry, compared to the large state-owned oil corporations, like Aramco, which dominate the industry. These corporations are located outside the West and are not very easy to pressure. Ultimately, these pressures amount to little because if BP or Exxon refuse to develop oil or gas in, for example, Brazil, then it won’t stay in the ground, but will be developed by Rosneft or Sinopec or Aramco, which all have plenty of capital and experience.
All oil or gas hich can be developed economically will be developed regardless of ‘green concerns’. If one of the Western firms doesn’t do it, then somebody else will.
Thanks for the link Red. Excellent vid but very disheartening.
See what he says.
“detrimental long-term impacts on trust in government and scientific institution”
That ship has sailed. There’s no putting that genie back in the bottle.
Unfortunately, they have now lost trust so comprehensively that if they came up with a complete cure for death I suspect that 50% of the people would refuse it…
🤠
Is he a schizophrenic?
Who said that!?
I don’t know, I’m in two minds about that.
He has been promoted to Captain Obvious.
Something is off. I smell a ‘Bait and Switch’.
Why should Bill Gates’ opinion matter more or be listened to by the political class gathered together any more than the critics of government pllicy over the past 2 years.
Well it might be because he puts a lot of his cash into projects they like and they receive political benefits or vicarious pleasure as a result.
Thi sis not democracy but I have to admit few in the political class these days claim it is. They just don’t explain. They just take our rights and rub our noses in any error or problems.
So he means that in the next pandemic (which he always keeps referring to) such a vaccine would justify all restrictions. So a new good virus and a new good vaccine will do it. Biil is good in both. You could say it’s up to him.
Discussion on GB news from the panel who still think the vaccine has ‘saved’ millions of lives. How does anyone know that they have been ‘saved’ Its ridiculous.
If they hadn’t been clot-shotted it could have been so much worse.
Yes, they might still be alive!
I knew Billy Goats was weird (and either a psycho or just plain stupid) in 2016.
I read one of his blog posts. It’s still there. Tell me what you think:
https://www.gatesnotes.com/development/smells-of-success
I remember this. The very definition of a nutjob.
Couldn’t manage more than the opening couple of paragraphs and then my BS alarm began to bleep wildly. The photo at the opening of the article didn’t help either.
He told an audience from the stage that wearing a mask all day was the same as wearing ‘underpants ‘ – so what was the problem?
Check out his close relationship with Fauci going back twenty years in RFKJ’s book “The Real Anthony Fauci” also the Corbett report “Who is Bill Gates” ? – disturbing viewing!
